About This Quote

Marianne was not the only one with the knack of finding her way to the library. All of us have that hidden talent that helps us get through life. We are able to do things that others can’t, but most people are too busy to even consider using it. It is up to us to do what we are good at and use that talent, no matter how small it may seem, to help us understand the world around us or simply for entertainment.
